UNIT 2: GEOMETRY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Due Date: November 1st (Red) and 2nd (Gray)
Expectations:
• Choose one of the designs from the attached pages. Figure out what must be done to duplicate those designs.
o Create your designs on plain white paper, using only a pencil, compass, and straightedge.
o Take a picture of your construction, with the markings included.
o When finished, erase any unnecessary marks, and color the design you have constructed with pens,
pencils, crayons, or markers.
• Create one original design using only a straightedge and compass.
• Mount the two designs on construction paper, mat board, or poster board and submit them together.
Assessment:
Your completed project will be evaluated using the following criteria:
• Accuracy— all lines must be carefully drawn with a (sharp) pencil using only a compass and a
straightedge. There should be no freehand drawing for the construction.
• Neatness— attention to the look and neatness of the design is important.
• Creativity— the original design and the coloring of the duplicated design should be unique and show
some planning and effort.
• Effort— the more detailed, planned, colored, etc., the better!
• Meeting deadlines/following directions— the project must satisfy the above expectations and be
completed on time.
Geometry Construction Project Grading Rubric:
Accuracy:
8-10 • Angles, circles, polygons, etc. are correctly constructed when used. • All line segments are straight. • All line segments end at the appropriate endpoints.
5-7 • Most angles, circles, polygons, etc. are correctly constructed when used. • Most line segments are straight. • Most line segments end at the appropriate endpoints.
3-4 • Some angles, circles, polygons, etc. are correctly constructed when used. • Some line segments are straight. • Some line segments end at the appropriate endpoints.
0-2 • Few angles, circles, polygons, etc. are correctly constructed when used. • Few line segments are straight. • Few line segments end at the appropriate endpoints.
Neatness:
16-20 • Erases are well made; there is little/no evidence of original construction marks. • There are no smudges. • Coloring is neatly done and is pleasing to the eye. • Care is taken in terms of the presentation of the design (e.g., it is centered; backgrounds are used; name, title, date, etc. are displayed; design is of a large size and takes up most of the poster board)
10-15 • Erases are mostly well made; there’s little evidence of original construction marks. • There are few smudges (1-3, but no more). • Coloring is neatly done in most instances and is mostly pleasing to the eye. • A good degree of care is taken in terms of the presentation of the design (e.g., it is centered; name, title, date, etc. are displayed, design is of a large size, but there is a little too much whitespace around the design)
5-9 • Erases are sometimes well made; there’s some evidence of original construction marks. • There are smudges (4-5, but no more). • Coloring is neatly done in some instances but only partially pleasing to the eye. • Some care is taken in terms of the presentation of the design (e.g., name, title, date, etc. are displayed, design is of a medium size and there is a little too much whitespace around the design).
0-4 • Erases are not well made; there is much evidence of original construction marks. • There are many smudges (more than 5). • Coloring is not neatly done and/or is not pleasing to the eye. No coloring is done. • Little care is taken in terms of the presentation of the design (e.g., design is not centered; name, title, date, etc. are not displayed, design is of a small size and there is too much whitespace around the design).
Creativity:
16-20 • Original design is very clever; creatively designed • Original design is either completely original or combines non-original designs in an original way. • Coloring, etc. on all designs is creative and shows care and creativity.
10-15 • Original design displays creative thinking • Some portion of the original design is copied from another source, but most is original. • Coloring, etc. on most designs is creative and shows care and creativity.
5-9 • Original design shows some creative thinking • Most of the original design is copied from another source, but some portions are original in nature. • Coloring, etc. on designs is somewhat creative and shows some care and creativity.
0-4 • Original design lacks creativity OR “Original” design is fully copied from another source. • Designs are not colored and little care is shown. • Little care is taken in terms of the presentation of the design (e.g., design is not centered; name, title, date, etc. are not displayed, design is of a small size and there is too much whitespace around the design).
Effort:
8-10 • The project clearly shows much effort was put into making an excellent design. • The project looks complete – nothing was left undone. • Risks were taken in terms of design (design is complex, materials used are unique, etc.)
5-7 • The project shows that good effort was put into producing the design. • The project looks mostly complete – some touch up is still required. • Some risks were taken in terms of design (design is relatively complex, materials used are mostly unique, etc.)
3-4 • The project looks like parts of it were thrown together at the last minute. • The project does not look complete – a lot of work is still required. • Few risks were taken in terms of design (design is relatively simple, materials used are predictable, etc.)
0-2 • The project looks as if it were put together in a hurry. • The project is not complete. • No risks were taken in terms of design (design is very simple)
Meeting Deadlines/Following Directions:
8-10 • The project is handed in on time. • The project goes beyond the requirements as presented.
5-7 • The project is handed in on time. • The project meets all the requirements as presented.
3-4 • The project is handed in no more than one day late. • The project meets some of the requirements as presented.
0-2 • The project is handed in more than one day late. • The project meets few of the requirements as presented.
